AIRCOM, Telcordia Team Up for Enhanced Mobile Service Assurance

LAS VEGAS and LEATHERHEAD, England, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- AIRCOM International, the leading independent network planning and optimization company, today announced a cooperative agreement with Telcordia, a global leader in fixed, mobile and broadband communications software and services. AIRCOM and Telcordia will work together to assist operators worldwide in tackling the growing challenge of how to effectively monitor, manage and resolve network performance and Quality of Service (QoS) issues across mobile networks.

By sharing their network performance and service assurance expertise, and by addressing customer experience and data management, AIRCOM and Telcordia cover every aspect of an operator's infrastructure from the core and access network all the way out to the mobile device.

Maintaining a reliable, high-performance network in a cost-efficient way is a serious priority for any operator in terms of retaining subscribers and staying competitive.  Together, AIRCOM and Telcordia enable operators to quickly and easily tackle the full range of network and service challenges from dropped calls and coverage blackspots to hard-to-find glitches, data traffic jams and network-wide failures.

"In our discussions with mobile operators, it's clear that -- when it comes to network management and Quality of Service -- operators often need more than the market currently offers," said Ricky Watts, AIRCOM's Chief Technology Officer. "They want network solutions capable of addressing all aspects of how their infrastructure and related systems perform. With this new agreement, AIRCOM and Telcordia are delivering upon this important need, sharing our insight, products and skill-sets in a way that will uniquely benefit our customers and their business."
